Denver Colorado to Gabarone Botswana

Well this is my first shot at blogging........ I'll do my best however I look forward to your coments, suggestions and sarcastic remarks.

  I took a red eye out of Denver on Friday night, Feb. 6, 2015. My first lay over was in New York, a lovely 5 hours in an international termanalwith no seats. Next stop fourteen and a half hours later........... Johannesburg South Africa, another 5 hour lay over then I was offto Gaborone, Botswana. All and all it was a relativly painless trip except for the extra baggage fee I was charged by South Africa Air. The flight was booked through Jet Blue and when I went on line their web site said the extra bag fee was $50.00 as long as the bag was under 50 lbs. That sounded kinda cheap so I called Jet Blue to make sure I was not mistaken, they assured me that was the fee. Upon arriving at the air port I was informed by the counter agent that that was their fee but they did not have an agreement with South Africa Air and I would need to pay an additional $300.00, a total of $350.00 for one 43 lb. bag. Oh well......
